Tube amp vs. speakers


Hi all,

Considering jumping into tubes from solid state. My question is whether tubes will meet the power hungry speakers I intend to use, an elderly but pristine pair of Mirage M-1s. They are rated at a sensitivity of 83db and nominal 6 ohms and are more power hungry than a pair of Dunlavy SC-Vs I recently sold. I tend to listen to jazz and blues at fairly demanding levels at times. Will a 35 watt or 50 watt tube amp meet these requirements? Any suggestions or recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Probably not is the answer. Depends a lot on your room size but that's pretty low sensitivity. More impt that nominal impedence is minimum impedence. How big is the ss amp that you are using?
